Heard my first "Biden will increase taxes by 4 trillion" talking point this morning.
Told him not to worry about it unless he makes $400k a year or more (which he doesn't) and sent him the link for the Tax Policy Center analysis.
Here's the link for anyone else who wishes to debunk this talking point. https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/analysis-former-vice-president-bidens-tax-proposals/full

6. Bankruptcy for the US govt equals a currency failure.
The failure of a reserve currency would launch a depression that would make the Great one look like a picnic.

4. Either way, we pay taxes.
Through outright taxes or through inflation.
Dollar devaluation is a tax. YoY, M1 money supply is up nearly 40 pct. |

"Well, someone has to pay for the the $4 trillion in debt trump ran up."
